R. Most
Gracious and Loving God, We confess that we have sinned against thee and done
what is evil in thy sight; That we have turned from thy ways both in things
done and left undone;

A period of silence for reflection follows.

R. Wherefore
we beseech thee O Lord, Have mercy upon us; forgive us all our sins. Cast us
not away from thy presence But cleanse us with thy Spirit; That we may walk in
newness of life; And this we ask in the Name of thy Son Our savior, Jesus
Christ. Amen

O Lord, we beseech thee, mercifully hear our
prayers, and grant us Absolution and Remission of all our sins, true
repentance; amendment of life, and the grace and consolation of Thy Holy
Spirit. Amen.

V. O God, make speed to save us.

R. O
Lord, make haste to help us.

V. GLORY be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;

R. As
it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Psalmody

Psalm 119:33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of Thy statutes, And I shall observe it to the
end.

34 Give me understanding, that I
may observe Thy law, And keep it with all my heart.

11 For the sake of Thy name, O
LORD, revive me. In Thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

12 And in Thy lovingkindness cut
off my enemies, And destroy all those who afflict my soul; For I am Thy
servant.

V. GLORY be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;

R. As it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

righteously and godly in the present age, 13 waiting for our blessed hope, the

Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
